Name: Opportunity
Duration: P00H04M15S
Description: When the Mars rover Opportunity was declared officially dead, there was this huge out pour of emotions online. I got swept up in it myself actually. It was like a huge pop star had tragically died. In that week where everyone was talking about the event, I got this little melody stuck in my head. 4 repeating notes, echoing into space.

lyrics

Can you hear us now
Can you hear us now
Can you hear us calling out your name
Can you hear us calling out in vain
Are you with us now
Are you with us now
Are we coming through loud and clear
Oh please respond for the worst we fear

Now, we're mourning at your loss
It's terran us apart
Cause we can't reach you opportunity
We, we should have been there now
The plans were lost somehow
Now we can't reach you opportunity

She went where no-one's gone before
She made the grade, and so much more
Though when she launched
We would have swore she'd not last this long
She went through hell for us to know
And now what do we have to show
A stack of postcards where she wrote
I wish you were here

Now, we're mourning at your loss
It's terran us apart
Cause we can't reach you opportunity
We, we should have been there now
The plans were lost somehow
Now we can't reach you opportunity

We have a message from control
This signal's dead, the line's gone cold
Oh do you read me
Do you know
Are you with us now
Are you with us now
Are we coming through loud and clear
Oh please respond for the worst we fear

Now, we're mourning at your loss
It's terran us apart
Cause we can't reach you opportunity
We, we should have been there now
The plans were lost somehow
Now we can't reach you opportunity
